Kirkjufell Mountain
Kirkjufell Mountain is located on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula in western Iceland. At 463 meters above sea level, it has an impressive conical shape that rises close to the sea. In fact, the shape of the mountain varies depending on the angle of view; it looks trapezoidal when viewed from the village of Grundarfjörður in the east. The nearby waterfall with white streaks on the cliffs and the lake reflecting the mountain like a mirror are widely known as photo spots.
Snæfellsnes Peninsula
The Snæfellsnes Peninsula, located in the western part of Iceland, juts out into the North Atlantic Ocean for about 90 km. It's full of the charm of Iceland, with volcanoes and glaciers, green grasslands and black sand beaches, and small towns along the coast. You can take a day trip from Reykjavik, but staying longer and visiting glaciers and waterfalls, whale watching, and enjoying the Northern Lights are also great options.
